And while I have your attention, I started posting in this thread back in 2011 and then disappeared for a few years. When I left, the page count was at 768 and now look at it! Geez, I have millions of fascinating hours ahead of me. Thank you to everyone who makes this thread amazing. I'm glad to be back and look forward to solving the mysteries of the past. |

You are promoting what has become an outdated view of West Adams. While not what it once was--Los Angeles does evolve from here to there and back again--the district is gentrifying rapidly, especially with the incredible pressure on house prices due to lack of inventory. Check out some recent sales. The house in the top picture was built at 21 Berkeley Square; the house in the GSV is not the same one though it was built by the same man: http://www.berkeleysquarelosangeles....fairchild.html |
+1981
I see a 1981+ Chevrolet Monte Carlo there! ;) White car on the left with the droopy rear.

Wonder what the occasion was. Don't ever recall seeing that many folks associated with the Starvation, oops, Salvation Army in one place, especially that many women in their uniform. |

Yikes, sorry to post the wrong decade. Didn't mean to cause a major ruckus here on LANoir. I'll be sure to check the cars more closely next time. Meanwhile those Salvationists will keep right on playing the rooty toot toots for the lost souls of the sidewalk.. |
Boston Dry Goods

Great article, ER, and thanks for finding it! I saw this notice on the same page could not figure out what street they're talking about. Sunset? Alvarado? http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/...psa86fd908.jpg LOC, LA Herald Oct. 4, 1895 ______ |

WS: I've seen this article before--"Elysian" appears to have been a mistaken reference to Sunset (later Lafeyette) Park and Gaylord Wilshire's new boulevard between it and Westlake--MacArthur--Park, being developed at the time. wilshireboulevardhouses.com |

I found this 1939 picture of Broadway which shows the Boston Dry Goods Store transformed into Silver's Department Store. The sign on the second floor window indicates that it's "For Lease". To me, this makes a nice change from the "awaiting demolition" pictures of these buildings that we've seen recently (some posted by me :)).

[/QUOTE] Some of them are holding musical instruments and some of the women have tambourines which would indicate that they are in the band and had been playing at some point. That would account for them all wearing their uniforms since they would wear them to play in public. |

Well, that explains it. |
Orpheum Theatre
I had an opportunity to see a show at the Orhpeum a few months ago. It's great to see the historic movie theater district getting some much needed repair and gentrification.
All photos by me. I apologize if they are too big! The main lobby https://ryanrpalmer.files.wordpress....4/06/lobby.jpg The downstairs lounge. Love the wood. https://ryanrpalmer.files.wordpress..../06/lounge.jpg Inside the theatre. https://ryanrpalmer.files.wordpress..../06/inside.jpg |

CD I like the light gently falling upon the entrance courtyard. This is the residence of Gertrude Enos at 3500 West Adams Blvd. Some of Los Angeles' fine homes that are "like jewelry in that they satisfied particular whims of their builders" but haven't their original value now on the open market, a topic being discussed before the Board of Supervisors on July 26, 1940. The Enos home is assessed at $14,740. She asks it be cut to $5,260. This is the old Guasti mansion.We've seen this home before but maybe not this photo. . |
